One of two Columbus State University cheer teams competing at the UCA Collegiate National Championships won the school's first national title in cheer.

Columbus State University cheer coach Jimbo Davis's small co-ed squad - competing in that category for the first time - won the championship Jan. 17.

The Cougars' primary squad earned a second-place finish. The runners-up spot is the second in a row for CSU after taking second in 2003.

The runner-up finish marks the fifth straight year the CSU squad has finished in the nation's top three. The program has steadily risen from an all-girl squad less than 10 years ago to an extremely talented, nationally-competitive co-ed squad.
